20:38 Kingdem2019’s Kingdem tour saw three of UK Hip Hop’s most heavyweight artists join forces for an explosive experience but now sadly Ty, one of the UK’s most prolific and beloved rappers, is no longer with us. We are honoured to have Rodney P and Blak Twang reuniting for a very special performance of Kingdem material, celebrating Ty’s huge impact and talent. With five studio albums under his belt, Ty had set the bar for up and comers to bring musicality, soul and heart to the British rap landscape. www.kingdem.co.ukSupported by Croydon Council Culture Relief Fund

21:20 Two 5They say it all started with the blues. That’s where Crystal Palace locals Ron McElroy and Andy Burke started, and they liked it so much they decided to stay and enjoy the view. www.two5.co.uk

21:40 Andrew AshongWe are super excited to present Andrew, a British-Ghanaian soul singer-songwriter, DJ and producer from Forest Hill with his band, described by Paul Lester of The Guardian as "a hazy, jazzy dreamer of a young soul rebel who in his music references Roy Ayers and Shuggie Otis, Bill Withers and Marvin Gaye." His single with Theo Parrish, Flowers, was Gilles' Peterson’s single of the year in 2013. andrewashong.tumblr.com

23:00 DJ MamasutraCrystal Palace Festival resident DJ Mamasutra (Daphnea Wenham) has been keeping the crowds engaged and entertained in between acts since 2012. Inspired by the diverse crowds the festival draws, Festival Artist Line up, the Crystal Palace Community and beyond, reflects in DJ Mamasutra’s selecta style. She can be best described as an imaginative musical chameleon crowd-pleaser who keeps the vibe alive. For this year’s festival, she will be serving up a ‘Best of Bo Selectas’ to mark an almost decade of entertaining festival goers.

00:00 King MichaelOld school progressive and tech house, some classics and some less well known, from King Michael, a known associate of The Orb who mixed their sound system into his warm-up gig at their last Royal Festival Hall show.

01:00 KumoProducer and composer Jono Podmore aka Kumo has, together with his band metamono and other undercover operations, been part of the festival since the early glamour of Westow Park. His DJ set will reflect that journey and bring new flavours for 2020. Think analogue electronics, thumping beats and shake your pants. www.psychomat.com

18:05 The Jenny HaniversThe Jenny Hanivers return to the Crystal Palace festival this year after an exuberant performance that forced a reluctant sun out in Crystal Palace Park last summer. Look up a Jenny Haniver and you’ll see a form that’s a misdirection, entirely unusual, yet strangely familiar. The Jenny’s set is a tribute to all the artists the band loves, from Talking Heads to The Style Council, picking up the Velvets on the way. The songs are packed with memorable hooks, wry story telling, sly grooves and finished o� with a guilty sprinkle of sweet romance.

18:50 Rob DeeringThe UK's foremost guitar-wielding, loop-layering stand-up comedian. Can be spotted at clubs, theatres, TV, radio and festivals throughout the known world. Winner of Celebrity Mastermind so he’s proper clever. robdeering.com

19:45 Super BirdA peacock inspired music phenomena, a colourful pop-funk n’ roll power package, freshly delivered from the stork of love...Superbird was recently crowned BBC Introducing's Band of 2019, concocting a sound that echoes Prince, Jamiroquai and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, whilst flirting with more contemporary influences such as The 1975, Harts and Blossoms. www.wearesuperbird.com

20:05 Their Lives Matter – a Ragtime to Grime JamA celebratory show hosted by Grounded Movement with special guests Rodney P and Blak Twang.

20:08 Ragtime to GrimePremiere performance. This reworked extract of a collaboration between Grounded Movement’s artistic director Temujin Gill and the late Ty, explores through dance and rap, a story of troubled young people mentally adrift and disenfranchised from history. A celebration of the cathartic impact of music, the sense of connection it gives, and the power this has to anchor us in our own lives. www.groundedmovement.com

20.19 The JamA rich line-up of hip hop artists, old school pioneers and local emerging talent come together to perform nd celebrate the amazing impact black artists have had on both culture and the creative community.

21:40 JOHNTaking the mundane spirit of their name as a manifesto, JOHN (both members aptly named John) o�er a deadpan approach that has become the recognisable trait of their live performance, with an almost mechanical solidity rare for only two bodies. Alongside the tight rhythmic synchronisation of guitar and drums, introspective lyrics suggest that literature and spoken word are just as important influences as the punk, noise and rock genres they might comfortably fit into. This balance between content and volume has lead them on to stages with bands such IDLES, Mclusky and METZ. johntimestwo.bandcamp.com

22:45 Radio Visionaries - Rookery EnsembleA meditation on the nature of time and space and what we are doing to our planet from Crystal Palace based spoken word artist and musician George E Harris, film-maker and musician Eric Moore, fine artist and musician Mark Hill and musician Alison O'Melia. www.worldofsurprises.co.uk
